The nasty job of bleeding brakes. How do you do it without assistance? You get out the inspection camera and point the camera head at the brake reservoir.

The GRT Sport has arrived and almost all the instruments have been set in their panels. This is a test fit. It was necessary to adjust the big opening in the main for clearance of some of the various instruments.

You can see the bubbles of air coming from the brake line as you push fluid in from below. You can also manipulate the brake master to assist the flow of air out of the system.

Today I installed the new cover for the console and began work on the brake plumbing. I need to replace the line from the reservoir to the master as it interferes with the trim switch. Replacement parts now on order.

Here's why the bottom breakers are upside down. It puts the buss bars connecting the inputs together. The first breaker in the bottom row is the main output from the alternator so it is right side up so the output goes to the buss bars.

I had some maple veneer from another project which came in handy to cover the sheet aluminum plates. I think it's much more attractive than painted aluminum.
